Dimension Library access
Hi, I am in the process of testing security for applications. I have view dimension library access, I do not have manage meta data access. I have added security groups to access and maintenance groups for which i only have access to "Access group". I cannot edit any members, which is correct based on my security, but i am trying to understand the reason why the meta data is not greyed out? It appears as normal, and i can edit, but when i try save the changes, it says i do not have access. Which is great, it means it works. I was just expecting it to be greyed out like for example cube views. Just curious as to why meta data isnt greyed out as well? Would appreciate any feedback
Environment Management
Hi All, In your OneStream implementation, how many environments do you have? Dev, UAT and Prod? Or do you also have Pre-Prod environment that is common in ERP systems? Also, in the UAT environment do you also have copy of data so that when testing happens or developers need to test the changes - there is enough sample data to test? Would you consider brininging data from Prod, randomize it and load into UAT env so that UAT env data at all intersections as Prod? Thanks!Issue with Excel Data Extraction via Drilldown
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well! I’m having an issue with an Excel extraction of my data rows through drilldown. I have a French profile and my Excel is set to French, so when I have separators with spaces, it extracts the amounts in a strange format. Have you encountered this problem before? Thank you very much!
Data Cell Access Security (Slice Security) has stopped working after we upgraded to OS v8.5
Hi, After we recently upgraded to V8.5 , it seems the slice security has stopped working. Can anyone suggest what would have gone wrong? Cube Data Access Security for Entity is True The parameters are set as User is in group and Data cell in the Filter -> Apply access and stop (Read Only) User is in group and Data cell is not in the Filter -> Apply access and continue (No access) User is NOT in group and Data cell is not in the Filter -> Apply access and continue (No access) In the Account filter , am passing 1 account say Sales but when am checking the access , user is able to access all the accounts. There is no other security available in this particular base cube other than thisUsing OneStream to Track Inflation and Related Metrics
Hi everyone, I’m interested in learning how other organizations are leveraging OneStream to track inflation and other account-related metrics. Currently, our approach involves using the Account dimension to explicitly separate inflation impacts for specific expense categories. For example: FOOD_BEV – Food & Beverage Expense INFL_FOOD_BEV – Inflation related to Food & Beverage Expense These inflation rates are externally calculated and loaded via XFD uploads. To support different reporting views, we load the data into three separate accounts: _PER – Monthly _QTR – Quarterly _ANN – Annual We also use a view dynamic account without a suffix, which adjusts based on the selected view. Exploring Alternative Approaches I’m considering whether using a User Defined (UD) dimension might offer more flexibility. For instance: Keep the account as FOOD_BEV Use the UD to switch between metrics like: "Dollars" (actuals/estimate) "Inflation" (loaded via XFD) "Per Guest" (dynamically calculated) "Pricing" (potentially another loaded or calculated metric) This method could streamline the structure and allow for more dynamic reporting, especially if inflation rates are only loaded monthly and calculated for QTD/YTD using weighted averages. Open to Ideas I’d love to hear how others are handling similar use cases. Are you using UD dimensions for this type of analysis? Are there better ways to structure inflation tracking in OneStream? Thanks in advance for sharing your insights! — Jeremy Morgan

Hi there, We've developed rules that works properly in actuals with monthly frequency. Is there a way to use the same rules in other frequencies? I tried to link them to a budget scenario with yearly tracking frequency (Scenario property), but they are applied at the end of the year (for instance 2022) instead of each month. This behavior is kept even after changing to Monthly frequency, or "Member Filter" using "T#|WFYear|.Base". Is there a filter on the time from the WF itself? Ideally, we'd like to keep the actuals conf rules as they are. Thank you for the help. Regards
XF Dimensions Template - Update properties by scenario type
In the metadata XML file, if there are multiple values by scenario type, it splits into two rows and there is no easy way to generate two rows from the XF Dimension template. Is there any way to update member properties varying by scenario type via the upload template? I have to manually update, copy, and paste hundreds of times in order to have that property updated for the accounts. Using the standard metadata builder template, the other properties are getting overridden.
Error launching OS v9 app
I have this error when trying to launch OS v9 app. I have no issue launching another app that's on v7.4. It is not authentication issue, I can access via BUX. The error occur when I try ClickOnce. This has happened before, these tricks worked last few times, but not this time: 1-Clear Cache: Windows + R -> rundll32 dfshim CleanOnlineAppCache 2-Delete folder 2.0 from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\OneStream\Desktop 3-Uninstall latest Microsoft updates. Anything else I should try? Thank you. Below is more error detail:
